Zhu Yan returned to Beijing, but Xia Yuanqiu stayed in Pingtung. King Liang's eyes and ears immediately reported the matter to Beijing.
Zhu Sheng's always-condensed face finally showed a hint of enlightenment, and there was a hint of unintelligible smile at the corner of his mouth.
He quickly wrote a reply and flew to Pingtung.
Xia Yuanqiu and Song Ning had just finished inspecting the refugee camp that day, and everyone had smiles on their faces.
Song Ning said: "The plague has been completely eliminated, and our hard work over the past few days has been considered in vain."
Yuan Qiu said with a smile: "In that case, let's have a drink to celebrate!"
Song Ning smiled lightly, her eyes gleaming: "I see you don't drink at all on weekdays, and I thought you were not good at this. Before I thought about it, it turned out that you were bound by something."
Yuanqiu also laughed: "I never like wine, I'm just happy today. It's a great joy that the plague is gone, and it's an even greater joy to meet you. It's a great blessing for me, Xia Yuanqiu, to meet such righteous people as you in my lifetime. How about if you don’t get drunk or come home today?”
Song Ning's senior sister, Xu Ruyue, said: "It seems like Miss Xia wants to say goodbye to me!"
Song Ning frowned slightly, her eyes focused on Yuan Qiu.
Yuan Qiu pursed his lips and smiled slightly, and said: "Prince Jing has been away for seven days, and no letter has arrived. I feel uneasy. Since the matter here is over, I should return to the capital as soon as possible to reunite with him, so as to avoid troubles day and night. .”
Xu Ruyue sighed softly, glanced at her junior brother Song Ning, with a look of distress in her eyes, and sighed: "What an enviable couple."
Xia Yuanqiu's cheeks were slightly red, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "With Sister Xu's appearance, I'm afraid she has too high standards and is too tricky in choosing a mate. Otherwise, is there any need to envy my little sister?"
Xu Ruyue looked bitter, shook her head slightly, and sighed: "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go drink, and we won't come back until we're drunk!"
In the green fields and woods, using the sky as a hut and the earth as a pavilion, they spread wine jars all over the ground, chatting about wine and drinking freely.
Yuan Qiu had never been a drinker, but after just three drinks, his face turned red. A passionate poppy flower blossomed on his pure and beautiful face, which was fascinating and addictive.
Song Ning was also a drinker. He had been frail since he was a child and had practiced medicine, but he did not have the physical strength to practice martial arts, and he could not hold up the altar and drink with arrogance like an ordinary man.
To him, wine is a luxurious enjoyment, and he never dares to drink too much.
But today, he just wanted to open his mind, have a drink, get drunk, and taste what this legendary treasure that can make people forget their worries taste like.
His usually clear eyes gradually became misty, and there was a deep gloom in his eyes. He stared at the beautiful face hidden deep in his heart, and finally expressed his lovesickness uncontrollably: "Yuan Qiu, look at I."
Yuan Qiu raised his eyes, looked into Song Ning's misty eyes, and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Song Ning stared into her eyes, which were so bright that they were filled with thousands of stars. He said word by word: "If you met me before Zhu Yan, would you fall in love with me?"
The joyful sound of people pushing cups and changing cups ceased immediately, and everyone had a look of surprise on their faces. They knew what their junior brother was thinking, but they never thought that he, who was so proud, would ask such a question.
Xu Ruyue winked, and the senior brothers stood up and left one after another, pulling the half-drunk Xing Fang away with them, leaving the two of them with enough private space.
Xia Yuanqiu drank three glasses of wine and felt tipsy but not drunk. Song Ning's question completely woke her up. The drunkenness in her eyes gradually dissipated. She looked at him for a long time and suddenly smiled and said: "You are drunk, even though you are drunk." You're talking nonsense." She stood up and left the grassland, leaving Song Ning alone and feeling sad to herself.
